    net: ks8851: Fix deadlock with the SPI chip variant · 0913ec33
    Ronald Wahl authored
    When SMP is enabled and spinlocks are actually functional then there is
    a deadlock with the 'statelock' spinlock between ks8851_start_xmit_spi
    and ks8851_irq:

    This issue has not been identified earlier because tests were done on
    a device with SMP disabled and so spinlocks were actually NOPs.
    
    Now use spin_(un)lock_bh for TX queue related locking to avoid execution
    of softirq work synchronously that would lead to a deadlock.
